THE  LEOPARD 

Is  spotted  all  over,  and 
looks  and  mews  like  a 
cat  He  is  very  crue!, 
and  runs  very  fast.  His 
skin  is  almost  yellow. 
He  hides  himself  till  some 
creature  comes  along,  and 
then  springs  upon  it,  and 
kills  it.  The  Leopard  is 
mentioned  many  times  in 
the  Bible. 


THE  TIGER 
Is  almost  as  large  as  the 
Ion,  and  his  skin  is  cover- 
ed with  stripes.     He  is  a 
beautiful   animal,  but  very 
cruel.    He  sometimes  kills 
a   great   many   cattle     at 
once,  and  is  so  strong  as  to 
drag  away  a  large  ox  with 
his  teeth.     The  roar  of  the 
tiger  is  very  dreadful,  but  he 
cannot  hurt  any  one  whom 
(jrod  takes  care  of 


THE  LION 
Is  SO  large  and  bold,  thai 
he  is  called,  "the  kuig  of 
beasts;"  and  he  is  so  strong, 
that  he  can  break  the  back 
of  a  horse,  by  striking  it 
with  his  paw;  and  he 
carries  a  young  heifer  or 
a  small  cow  about,  just  as 
a  {  '"i  carries  a  rat.  One 
lion  ?-  London  lived  to 
be  n.urly  seventy  years 
old.

THE  CAMEL 

Is  a  very  useful  creature. 
He  is  sometimes  higher 
than  a  horse,  and  has  lon^: 
slender  legs,  and  two  bunch- 
es on  his  back.  His  hair  is 
soft,  and  feels  like  wool ;  and 
his  feet  are  made  so  as  to 
walk  in  the  sand.  He  goes 
a  great  while  without  drink- 
ing. A  camel  can  walk 
thirty  miles  in  a  day.

THE  BEAR 

Is  not  usually  larger  than 
a  large  dog.  He  has 
small  eyes,  and  short  ears, 
and  very  long  feet  or 
paws.  His  hair  is  thick 
and  soft.  He  catches  a 
man  or  an  animal  between 
his  front  paws,  and  breaks 
the  bones,  and  then  tears 
it  in  pieces  and  eats  it. 
The  bear  can  swim  and 
climb  trees ;  and  his  skin 
makes  muffs  and  hats. 


THE  RHINOCEROS 

Is  the  same  animal  with  the 
Unicorn.  His  body  is  large, 
his  legs  short  and  thick, 
and  his  skin  very  hard. 
With  the  horn  that  grows 
just  over  his  nose,  he  can 
split  a  tree  into  thin  pieces  ; 
and  liis  jaws  are  so  strong 
that  he  can  twist  the 
branches  of  the  tree  aboiit^ 
just  as  an  ox  can  twist  a 
carrot  or  a  root  of  celery. 
God  created  him,  and  God 
can  destroy  him.

THE  ELEPHANT 

Is  the  largest  animal  at  the 
show.  He  is  very  high  and 
long.  He  has  no  hair  and 
the  colour  of  his  skin,  is  like 
the  colour  of  a  mouse.  He 
has  two  large  teeth  or  tusks, 
of  which  ivory  is  made,  and 
with  his  trunk,  which  comes 
from  his  head,  and  almost 
touches  the  ground,  he  can 
untie  a  knot,  or  open  a  door 
He  is  one  of  the  "  Wonder 
ful  works  of  God."
